GROUNDWORK FOR GROWING GIVING

ABOUT GROUNDWORK FOR GROWING GIVING

With as many as 2.4 billion people set to join the world’s middle classes by 2030, it is crucial that we ensure that the groundwork is put in place to support and encourage a mass engagement in giving. We estimate that if the world’s middle classes were to give over just 0.5% of their spending – less than the average UK household and about the same as people in the Republic of Korea – that could amount to $319 billion in resources for civil society organisations annually by 2030.

Potential for sustainable, domestic development

The Groundwork for Growing Giving campaign highlights the potential for fast growing emerging economies to drive a golden age of generosity and deliver a sustainable development which works for all. The campaign seeks to create an inclusive culture of generosity and envisions a world where everyone gives.

FUTURE WORLD GIVING

From 2013 - 2017 the Future World Giving project created, over a suite of reports, a policy framework to help governments seize the potential for rapidly growing middle class populations to engage in philanthropy. The Groundwork for Growing Giving campaign benefits from, and builds on, Future World Giving resources.
